Wherever you visit, from ritzy Beverly Hills to the wondrous Hollywood Bowl, you'll have an unforgettable stay.
No trip to L.A. is complete without a stop in Disneyland. This world-famous park has been a favorite of children - and adults - for generations.

Experience the warmth of Puerto Vallarta, which is quaint and full of history, yet modern, vibrant, exotic. Discover a destination of relaxing beaches, world class restaurants, and the latest in ecotourism and extreme adventure, in a setting that is internationally recognized for its charm and friendliness, with a backdrop of mountains, rivers, coastline, and emerald green waves of the Pacific Ocean.
Take advantage of a rare opportunity to get up close and personal with our intelligent finned friends at the Dolphin Adventure Center. You'll be given an introduction to these friendly mammals. Then, you'll actually have the chance to swim with them in a specially designed pool.
If you are looking forward to a relaxing day, stroll through historic downtown or along the Malecon. Shop at the Cuale River for souvenirs or near the Malecon for silver, turquoise and opal. Delight in the variety of orchids and other wildlife at the Botanical Garden. Visit the new Los Muertos Pier or an art gallery, or view the yachts at the Marina. Eat at a typical Mexican food or gourmet restaurant. Watch the sun set over the Pacific Ocean.
Mazatlan, Mexico
Translated, Mazatlan means "place of deer" from the ancient Nahuati tongue. Great herds of deer were said to have roamed this area, located at the foot of the Sierra Madre Mountains. Resplendent with rich tradition and folklore, Mazatlan is said to have been frequented by pirates who left behind their buried treasure. Noted for its sparkling sand beaches and warm Pacfic waters, Mazatlan is an ideal spot to get in a swim.
Take in the charming and historic sights on a tour of the city. Stop to do some shopping at Mazatlan's Golden Zone, home to Mexican and Indian handicrafts. It's a great way to celebrate the colors, songs and dances of ancient and colonial Mexico.
• Take a fascinating tour of the legendary Sierra Madre mountain range. Visit once-thriving colonial towns, which hosted missionaries and gold prospectors alike.
• Spend the afternoon exploring Mazatlan's long white-sand beaches, lined with open-air bistros and fun-loving bars.
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
Here at the tip of the Baja Peninsula where the amazing rock formation known as Los Arcos guards the entrance to the bay lies Cabo San Lucas which was once a hideout for pirates on the lookout for trading ships. Here you can spy on a no-longer-secret underwater garden through a glass-bottom boat, flirt with a whale or sea lion, shop at a quayside bazaar, or rekindle romance at the secluded Playa del Amor.
Cabo San Lucas is quickly becoming a popular destination for one reason: beautiful beaches. You'll find an amazing choice of activities here, from snorkeling and scuba diving to surfing and kayaking. There's something for everyone, even people who just want to lie in the sun and relax.
• Gaze from atop the cliffs at the very far end of the bay at the unforgettable view of Land's End's craggy rock arches and dramatic seascape.
